Who C.

Now where do I start? I actually like Quora's format. It's a bit of mixture of AskReddit, AskHistorian and other popular Q&A formats where you can ask specific questions to specific people (like experts, field veterans) and getting interesting answers. But such idea is only great when it is executed fairly and with impartiality. As far as I can gather Quora started out great when it first came out, but went downhill probably the moment imbeciles in Silicon Valley thought it's a good idea to inject their own politics into public discourse and internet platforms at large. Now the site is basically filled with raft of people trying to be internet celebrities like anywhere else, not rarely at all costs. It took me about a couple of months using the site regularly to notice some people absolutely hated it when others stole the limelight from them and do whatever it takes to get it back. Bullying is rampant, it is so bad that I've seen people considering suicide because of it. Shadow banning people and mass report users you don't like? Sure, why not? Who cares about being mature when someone's trying to get between you and your fame, am I right? Hogging up-votes by using cheap tricks (eg catfishing) and stealing someone else's ideas is also common, if one is paying attention. I've seen some went as far as to make it as if they're these pioneers of certain ideas and want to take the credit all for themselves. It's absolutely disgusting. Quora as it stands now is more useful as a tool to study how far people can stoop so low and sabotage others for the sake of personal gain than to get any information or knowledge worthy of the name. Even Wikipedia (something Quora's founders seem to aspire to become originally) despite its shortcomings, arguably still stand as one of the more reliable source of information. At least in Wikipedia people holds the standards rather high and people have to cite sources carefully. In Quora? Oh no no, god forbid you can't question anyone's sources, that is NOT NICE, especially if the user have 5k+ followers or more. I've seen enough to know some people cited sources without ever reading them just so their answer can look more credible when the cited sources have nothing to do with what they're talking about. And no one questioned that while the answer got up-voted to the hilt! LMAO! Quora users can suck donkey's $#*!.
